<VV> Exhausting SUCCESS / Clarks Ultimates

[Louis Armer]

Hello All, Thanks to all who responded to my exhaust/header problem. 
The solution was relatively easy and actually
accomplished thanks to Tony Ellison's suggestion. Several ideas 
mentioned heating up the flange coupling area of the
headers and muffler and reshaping the assembly to fit and eliminate 
the clearance problem. Tony put it simply: bolt it all
together and bend it by physical force to achieve the proper 
clearance. Eureka ! it was so simple it was almost embarrassing.
I simply stuck a round wooden clothes hanger pole in the exhaust 
tubing and into the throat of the muffler and forcibly
pushed straight down towards the garage floor. In seconds I was able 
to achieve the slight bending of the headers to easily
achieve between 1/2" and 3/4" inch clearance of the valance on both 
sides of the car. Tomorrow I will crank her up and see if
I have any noticeable leaking at the exhaust ports and the flange 
coupling areas.

Thanks to ALL who participated and  Happy Fourth 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-)
